Hung on his own petard.
His last video, found in the sub was, ‘Roseglub!’
The above is a very sensible statement. Taking "safety just is pure waste" out of context is a disservice to every reader and Rush.
The US taxpayer gets to gleefully foot the bill for the rank stupidity of this commercial company.
The good news is this CEO jerk-wad will no longer purposely endanger the lives of others by ignoring established submarine safety standards.
The bad news is this a$$ took four others with him. Rich people or stupid people or not, these folks did not deserve this fate.
I simply do not have any sympathy at all for this clown that thinks 50 year old white guys that are experts in submarine technology are a pure waste. May the worms down below enjoy their feast on Stockton Rush’s remains. May this or similar happen to all the other elite wokesters wrecking western society.
I’ll bet that this Rush character has sung a different tune now, sad to say. I still pray for the families of those who are in this submersible, and who, according to those in the know have probably run out of oxygen.
When you’re dumb, you gotta be tough.
Back in the day Stockton Rush would have gone over Niagara Falls in a potato bag
Safety was not considered. The vessel was badly designed. The burden of responsibility falls on the company.
Going 2.5 miles below the surface of the ocean is serious business. The pressure on the sub is enormous. Too many things can go wrong and for some, there is no way to recover.
Hoping they are on the surface waiting to be let out - the stupid design of the thing means that it cannot be opened from the inside.
I would not have set foot into that vehicle for any incentive in the world. Unmanned vehicles give you the same view, but not the ability to say “I was there.”
Rush wanted to be a deep ocean explorer ‘pioneer’ of sorts. He took his calculated risks with the Titan. By some miracle now we hope they survive. Rush could learn much from this endeavor but more likely he’s posthumously passing that baton on to others.
ABC reporter says on his trip they almost got stuck trapped by the propeller due to the currents. See video.

Trust but verify.
The same people in charge of the rescue/recovery and the vast majority of the people reporting on it are proven liars.
We take their word for anything at our peril.
The Titanic is sitting ~12,500 ft below the surface.
That’s in excess of 5000 lbs/in^2 on the Titan.
That’s a lot of pressure stress on any craft.
And this was it’s what - fourth dive? - to that depth?
Hmmm...
